It is worth to read the old manuscripts of the Becherbach Parish Register again after some time when one has got more familiar with the hand writing. So I have to make some corrections, printed in bold, to earlier readings. The most importatnt change on this page is that Hanß Heinrich's wife Susanna was nee "Becker" instead of "Brihans".
